Why Monitor Your Blood Pressure at Home?
Many people experience “White Coat Syndrome”, which is a
temporary elevation of blood pressure during a visit at their
physician’s office. Although only temporary, it can cause
blood pressure to rise and give a false indication of a person’s
true blood pressure.
Whether or not you experience “White Coat Syndrome”, home
blood pressure monitoring provides:
1) The opportunity to supplement your physician’s
office measurements.
2) An accurate indication of any change.
3) A record to assist your physician in evaluating your health
and making important decisions.
4) Consistent, daily measurements of your blood pressure.
What Influences Blood Pressure?
Many factors such as genetics, age, sex, altitude, physical activity,
anxiety, muscular development, certain medications or even the
time of day can influence blood pressure. Influences such as
sleep or relaxation decrease blood pressure, while anxiety or
exercise increase blood pressure.
NOTE: The variations in your individual
readings should only be interpreted by your
physician or trained healthcare professional.
